Safety should be your number one priority. Anyone deemed to be driving in an unsafe manner will be ejected. No Racing. If it starts to rain, slow down to a speed below that at which you know you can drive safely in the wet. Check the condition of your tires and brakes after every session. Check you oil level before every session. Keep an eye on your schedule and be on time!

---

Concentrate on being smooth and taking the correct line. Do not try for speed. Find accuracy and speed will follow.

Recommendations in case of trouble. If you are about to run off the track surface, drive off in a straight line. Do not make a futile attempt to hold the car on the track, this creates a more dangerous situation. If you err in judgment and lose control (i.e. spin), the best rule is both feet in (brake totally depressed, clutch totally depressed) until the car comes to a complete halt.

If you suspect mechanical problems while on the track: If serious, pull off the track slowly and await assistance. If you can continue, do so slowly and return to the pit area. Get off line and use hand signals and flashers to indicate that you have a problem while returning to the pits.
